It was awful especially if you use open source OS like Linux. It slowed the computer, fans full speed. Wtf are you smoking?

It is saddening that you are ignorant in knowing that technology companies follow Apple's devices more carefully that other OS.

The point about Apple is that everyone from zoom, slack etc will be forced to optimize for that 8GB. (Same like getting rid of awful flash player).

Many a people need only a basic device for Netflix, YouTube, google docs or email or search/but flights tickets. That will be amazing.

Many have job supplied laptop/desktop for great performance (made rubbish by AV scanners but that's different issue)

Nail in the coffin for ChromeOS (or aluminiumOS) if they 8GB RAM variants are sold > $500.

> have to show them your phone number,

Not always working. You can see often in google community support people lost their phone. Get a new sim card and phone. Google sends the 2FA request to old phone - without that they cannot restore data.

Double whammy for people that use eSIM that gets sent to their old email address.

Was this the answer from your other colleague?

Not download. I have a good connection.

- Installation is slow. REally slow. They blame it on btrfs. But the same for XFS. It took at least 30 min. Why?

- rpm-ostree - same.

Ask your colleague if his family is still there... May be not.

or ask another colleague whose family is still there. Would be different answer.

I tried a lot to get this in reality - using fedora silverblue. But that thing sucks. It is slow. Really dogslow. Devs are blaming rpm-ostree or btrfs - no idea. I wish there was something like ChromeOS but open.

Hint: Maybe firefox should pivot (re-do Firefox OS) to that.

If you have a $100 phone then UI is lighter as compared to running firefox etc.

A few years is different case. Invidious is also getting blocked easily. Are you running it now? If yes, then report.

Ironically iPhone helps them earn more. Most apple device owners have no choice or awareness.

> 2FA is a mitigation against people getting pwned by reusing passwords or using

Stolen/lost password hashes or some AI based programmer that dumped passwords in plaintext somewhere in a database.

If 2FA is proper even trivial passwords are fine.

With that argument we are discussing this on...errr US - the organization that perhaps grew those companies.

The word is not ironic it is pragmatic.

Correct

> Why do so many developers and sysadmins think they're not competent for hosting services. It is a lot easier than you think, and its also fun to solve technical issues you may have.

It is a different skillset. SRE is also an under-valued/paid (unless one is in FAANGO).

Look the bottom of that page:

An error occurred: API rate limit already exceeded for installation ID 73591946.

Error from https://giscus.app/

Fellow says one thing and uses another.

Again lots of doomsayers like you said it when systemd was introduced. Nothing happened. Same with RedHat IBM takeover.

You do prove the extreme polarized politics. For you it is AfD vs others.

In reality it is not. It is a spectrum of parties. People vote often for smaller parties in the state and larger ones in the national.

How can anyone promise that? Will you promise to your current employer that you will never leave the job?

Do you mean like IBM takeover of RedHat?

Well summarised.

Another point is (often )the apps that banks makes are 3rd party developed by outsourcing (even if within the same developed country). If someone uses some MiTM or logcat to see some traffic and publishes it then banks get bad publicity. So to prevent this the banks, devs tell anything that is not normal (i.e) non-stock ROM is bad.

FOSS is also something many app-based software devs don't like on their products. While people in cloud, infra like it the app devs like these tools while developing or building a company but not when making end resulting apps.

It would but how and who to run it? Ideally some one like Linux Foundation sits on the White house meetings or EU meetings. But they don't. Govts don't understand. I was once participating in a Youth meeting with MEPs - most of them have only iPhones. Most (not all) lawmakers live on a different planet.

Also IIRC, linux foundation etc are not interested in doing such standardisations.

You could tell this sort of insinuation to anyone. Including you.

Argument should be technical.

this. Especially USA may use all those gold to build a Gold White House.

1. google can arbitrarily revoke key. Countries can revoke key.

3. Like the amazing malicious crapware from PlayStore that they allow. They don't reject that.

4. Grandma installs crap mainly from PlayStore

> like what we do on OSX.

You are on macOS. Not others. You are following Apple. We don't.

Not in EU

People often give bs reasons like

- oh. I like night time camera from 1K pixel or iPhone

> I pay Apple premium price for their phones. If they become as bad as the other, what’s the point to pay so much ?

No choice. Most Apple users usually defend by telling... they are not as bad a Google or now it is impossible to escape ecosystem.
